Java Model
Below is the Java model that will be used for this example. It represents information about a collection of books.
Library
package blog.jaxbsource.xslt;
import java.util.*;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.*;
@XmlRootElement
public class Library {
private List<Book> books = new ArrayList<Book>();
@XmlElement(name="book")
public List<Book> getBooks() {
return books;
}
}
Book
package blog.jaxbsource.xslt;
public class Book {
private String title;
private String author;
public String getTitle() {
return title;
}
public void setTitle(String title) {
this.title = title;
}
public String getAuthor() {
return author;
}
public void setAuthor(String author) {
this.author = author;
}
}
XML Structure
Our JAXB model can be used to produce XML documents that conform to the following XML schema.
Our JAXB model can be used to produce XML documents that conform to the following XML schema.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema version="1.0" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="library" type="library" />
<xs:complexType name="library">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="book" type="book" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="unbounded" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="book">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="author" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" />
<xs:element name="title" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
The above XML schema was produced using the following code.
package blog.jaxbsource.xslt;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.xml.bind.*;
import javax.xml.transform.Result;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
public class GenSchema {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance(Library.class);
jc.generateSchema(new SchemaOutputResolver() {
@Override
public Result createOutput(String namespaceURI, String suggestedFileName)
throws IOException {
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(System.out);
result.setSystemId(suggestedFileName);
return result;
}
});
}
}
Stylesheet
Below is the XSLT stylesheet that we will use to convert the XML (JAXB model) to HTML.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<h2>My Library</h2>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Title</th>
<th>Author</th>
</tr>
<xsl:for-each select="library/book">
<tr>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="title" />
</td>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="author" />
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Demo Code
In our demo code we will use the standard javax.xml.transform APIs to do the conversion. Our JAXB input is wrapped in an instance of JAXBSource, and the output is wrapped in an instance of StreamResult.
package blog.jaxbsource.xslt;
import javax.xml.bind.*;
import javax.xml.bind.util.JAXBSource;
import javax.xml.transform.*;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.*;
public class Demo {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
// XML Data
Book book1 = new Book();
book1.setAuthor("Jane Doe");
book1.setTitle("Some Book");
Book book2 = new Book();
book2.setAuthor("John Smith");
book2.setTitle("Another Novel");
Library catalog = new Library();
catalog.getBooks().add(book1);
catalog.getBooks().add(book2);
// Create Transformer
TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
StreamSource xslt = new StreamSource(
"src/blog/jaxbsource/xslt/stylesheet.xsl");
Transformer transformer = tf.newTransformer(xslt);
// Source
JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance(Library.class);
JAXBSource source = new JAXBSource(jc, catalog);
// Result
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(System.out);
// Transform
transformer.transform(source, result);
}
}
Output
The following HTML output was produced as a result of running the demo code.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<html>
<body>
<h2>My Library</h2>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Title</th>
<th>Author</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Some Book</td>
<td>Jane Doe</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Another Novel</td>
<td>John Smith</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
